Rated 5 out of 5áby Geokayaker Easy to use
We purchased the Malone 50 inch bare roof racks and the Stax Pro2. They work well on our Hyundai and Acura. The directions are easy to follow for assembly and for the loading procedure. We took our boats on a camping weekend and they stayed solid at "interstate speeds" (wink) and twisty-turny back roads. Malone warns of possible seepage by the roof rack straps and sure enough they did. Oh, by the way, it was a torrential downpour that lasted almost an hour! Nice system with ease to use on two vehicles!

Rated 4 out of 5áby Doug It works
The kayaks may slip to the sides from the bottom if you strap them straight up and down, because the straps around the crossbars slide out when you hit any bumps while driving. We strap them slanted with the cushions near where the crossbars meet the side rails and haven't had a problem since. Once you get the hang of it, putting them on and taking off is not hard.

Rated 3 out of 5áby DB193 Sturdy Rack - But I Still Have My Doubts
Now that I've used the rack several times, I wanted to give my feedback. I have to say, I was really skeptical that this rack would be sturdy or durable. It just doesn't have a strong feel to it. But it was the only one available when I bought my kayaks, so I tried it. I live about 20 minutes through highway and winding roads, and was really pleasantly surprised that it held up so well.
The first few times it was really hard to use. The foam blocks kept shifting, and I had a hard time getting the kayak's loaded and secure. But now that we've got a system in place, it's a little easier. The blocks don't shift, but I have a terrible time with the hooks that the straps are supposed to loop through. I can't believe nobody's commented on this. It's really hard to catch on them.
Our regular trip takes us about 30 miles from home. I trust the rack in good weather. One day, with 20 MPH winds, we had to pull over and tighten the straps, but, otherwise, it holds them well.
We had a comment this week from a someone passing by as we were reloading at the lake that it seemed like a real hassle. I kind of agree. It takes about 15-20 minutes sometimes for me to load them to the roof. Most of the time is spent playing with the straps.
All-in-all, if you are on a budget, and need to carry two kayaks, this is a good choice. Your cargo will be secure, but you will have a bit of fussing to get things loaded right.
It's also a good choice if, like me, you have a tough time lifting the kayaks to the roof. I also tried a J carrier I purchased online and returned it because I couldn't get the kayak up that far.
But if your budget affords something nicer, I would suggest going with something simpler to use.

I purchased it and set it up on my car but will not use it until Sping. Hope it holds.

Rated 5 out of 5áby hen3ri Sturdy, easily installed rack
Affordable, sturdy, easily installed (and uninstalled) twin kayak rack. About a quarter the price of the big name rack maker, easier to use. I like the fact that I can take the whole system off the car in minutes if I want to use the rack for other purposes, like carrying a ladder. Also dealing with Dick's Sporting Goods was a joy. Very helpful, free shipping, rapid delivery, great price.

Rated 1 out of 5áby Anonamous Read CAREFULLY!!!
Does not include crossbars. An overpriced hobbie gets even more expensive when you realize you have to spend yet another hundred dollars for crossbars!!! Repeat... crossbars NOT incuded

Works good but if you have a suv, invest in a good step-stool.

Rated 5 out of 5áby Gary Great product
The kayak rack works as advertised. It seems very sturdy and the kayaks rode very well on my vehicle. For the price in relation to other products out there, I think it is a great value.
